It SHOULD be water only due to H&S being a diyer I can choose to ignore those. Fill it with water then pump up, be minimal air volume.
Really

plastic piping now its becoming clearer any alarm bells ringing shaun , harvest , town ?What if any cleaning steps should be done. In emails he said that a water flush through will be carried out. Seeing as its brand new everything and plastic piping is that all that's required.
Is there something wrong with plastic piping?plastic piping now its becoming clearer any alarm bells ringing shaun , harvest , town ?
The best I can do short of hiring a hydraulic tester, is to fill with water and pump up the air will at least rise to the high points so everything else will be hydraulic tested. I'm pretty sure there won't be any leaks the bits I have done so far have held 2 bar overnight.It appears like your quite competent, just go ahead and do it. Air testing plastic pipework ain't a brilliant method for tightness testing but it better than no test

The OP has pipes his own rads? I think? Then the boiler man is doing the rest? Think I'm right there.plastic piping now its becoming clearer any alarm bells ringing shaun , harvest , town ?

Cheers, just trying to bring KOP up to speed. Or I may have miss read his post. #verytiredtodayYes well that's what he's said
It is. I'd have a crack at the boiler but I have enough on my plate, want the warranty and I just can't be bothered doing the boiler as well. The plumbing is easy, radiators on the walls copper risers then plastic for the rest, supported every 300mm, insulated to water bylaws in the cold areas, as thick as I can go every where else especially in the DHW.Yes well that's what he's said
What's a wind up?Thought it was a wind up.
